Highwire Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hey uhh, When I look at topics, I cant see all the posts like before. Theres this little box thing that comes underneath the thread and I have to click on them to read the posts. Is this some kind of new update? If it is, im not crazy about it.

Highwire Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 It looks like that. And I can only see the newest post. I have Firefox 3. It was fine yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 That's a common problem that has happened for years to loads of people (including me). Randomly their viewing mode changes to outline or whatever. I'm not sure if there's a keyboard shortcut they accidentally use, or if following a link to the forum from someone else will automatically do it, or whether its a lost cookie. Any ideas?

MrLlamaLlama Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 ^ Usually happens if someone visits a part of the site / forums / downloads DB via google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 At the right top corner of the screen you'll find a box for 'options' (same hight as topic title). Click that and select 'standard' for display mode. I think that's it. Edit: I'm sure that's it actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 It's usually when you've found a forum topic via a Google Search. Google had/has a nasty habit of indexing the threaded viewing mode instead of the normal (even though it's not supposed to do either, it's supposed to index the lo-fi mirror). The problem is that the viewing mode is saved in a cookie so it then stays like that until you change it. Gonna merge all the topics about this and pin it I think.
